I have the last bastion of X10 equipment that I’m retiring in favor of new technology. One device that I seem to not be able to find a like match for is this X10 Inline Dimmable Module. The one I’m looking at is similar in size and wiring but lacks a dimmable feature. That module is the Linear Z-Wave Isolated Contact Fixture Module (FS20Z-1). I have looked at a few others, but they don’t have the dimmable feature either: Aeon Labs DSC26103-ZWUS - Z-Wave In-Wall Micro Controller and Aeotec Z-Wave Micro Dimmer, 2nd edition.
Does Anyone know of a device (zigbee or zwave) that has these features of my original x10 module?
Sorry, I’m confused. I wasn’t able to find specs for that specific module but what feature do you think is missing from the Aeotec dimmer? Because it’s definitely a dimmer. Fibaro also has an in wall micro dimmer. (I’m linking to the smartest house because their product descriptions are generally accurate, but the devices are widely available.)
yeah I may have misread the Aeotec comments on Amazon that said it would not dim, but I think that was only if the switch was a dimmer. Have you had experience with either of these?
The Aeon micro dimmer is dimmable but only with the ST Apps if a dumb external on/off switch is installed. If you installed the Aeon touch panel micro then you could Dim with both the touch panel or the ST app.
You won’t be able to use a dumb external dimmer switch to Dim the module. The new nano version is much smaller and more advance also z-wave plus. so I would definitely get the nano.
The Aeotec G2 micro can dim at the master if it’s a momentary Switch. There’s a parameter setting that you have to change. But I’m not sure it works if the switch is set up as a three-way.
